2025 WEST VIRGINIA FALL TOP 30 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

Off front, MidSouth, Previews, Student Section Buzz,

In 2015, yours truly began covering Student Sections in Orange County, California. We expanded to Southern California in 2017 and in 2021, we added four more states and added 15 more states. We went to 40 states two years ago.

We went to all 50 states in winter of 2023 and now we add our friends from the North in Canada on top of dividing Texas into two regions, similar to what we did with California. No one has ever done that before…until now!

This is still a one-man operation for the most part, but we have some help with some partners on Instagram like good friends at OC Student Sections and Stadium Geeks with help from Maryland Student Section Rater, NorCal Student Sections and many more.

This year we plan to get several “barstool” pages that showcase Student Sections in their states. Some of those pages were very helpful last year as we get more accurate with our rankings.

I know that Student Sections have a lot of work to do to get the students to the games to cheer on their classmates and go along with the theme and make sure they don’t cause trouble. These student sections deserve recognition.

This past season, we several more Student Sections, including some big powerhouse ones that not only will be a top dawg in their state, but will be a big player in the National side!

We will kick off the Student Section season with Preseason Football Student Section Rankings. REMEMBER, this is a PREVIEW. It is merely a prediction. The real rankings come out in November or December. 

If you feel your student section isn’t ranked high enough or not ranked at all, let us know and we’ll keep a close eye on them.

Every week, we will also have Student Section of the Week for each state. Once you win Student Section of the Week, you can’t win it again, but you still have to battle for the top spot in your state and perhaps the Nation as we will also name a Football Student Section National Champion. 

We continue with the 2025 Fall Student Section Season with a preview of West Virginia.

West Virginia is a tough one when it comes to Student Sections on social media. We know they’re there, but we have a hard time seeing the Student Sections that are considered the best. Social Media promotion is key and it is no different if a Student Section wants to make a big up to the top of the Rankings.

Last Football season, we had the Morgantown Rowdie Society as the top Football Student Section in West Virginia. The Rowdie Society is looking for a three-peat and if nothing changes from the other Student Sections and Morgantown keeps doing what has been working, then we will see a three-peat.

In each state, we will name one student section to look out for. A student section that while they aren’t ranked super high or weren’t ranked high last year, they’re a Student Section to lookout for and for West Virginia, it’s Oak Hill Devils Den. The Devils Den made a big splash into the rankings after being unranked in 2023. If Oak Hill improves their social media game and keeps promoting their Student Section on Instagram, then we may have a new Student Section Champion in West Virginia.

Will the Devils Den take the new powerhouse Student Section or will the Rowdie Society go for three-in-a-row in The Mountain State? Let’s find out.

2025 WEST VIRGINIA FALL TOP 30 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

  1. Morgantown Rowdie Society (2024 Rank: 1)

I believe Ric Flair once said, ‘To be the man, you got to beat the man and buddy, I am the man!’ The same can be said for the Rowdie Society. This is Student Section on its own mainly because they show off a fantastic Student Section on Instagram on a consistent basis. Pretty simple, but they do it better than anyone else. Someone will be daring to try, but until then, this road goes through Morgantown!
